Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
For those who might have missed the news, former Dallas Area Rapid Transit board chair Lynn Flint Shaw -- you know who she is, right? -- turned herself in to authorities this morning. Shaw's being investigated for allegedly forging Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins' signature and letterhead to dodge a debt, and she arrived at the Dallas County Jail before 8 a.m. for a photo session that resulted in this new Valentine's Day mugshot, shipped to Unfair Park courtesy the Dallas County Sheriff's Department. --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
